Re: Re: Re: Re: Economics and Literature
Well, this confuses plainness and accessibility with literary mastery, which is the question I raised. Lenin' stuff is plain and accessible, but not beautiful. Marx's is often difficult, but generally beautiful. It has what he said in his early letter to his dad was true of Hegel, a "grotesque craggy melody." --jks

but 'tain't hardly accessible to the toiling masses...
